If you're flying a twin helicopter - particularly single pilot - and at night - and you have a confirmed indication of low/no engine oil pressure, keep the ECL or RFM stowed where it is. You have important business to take care of. They are the immediate actions. Anticipate that engine without oil is going to kaboom itself within about 30 seconds if you don't take immediate corrective action. If it gets to kaboom state it might kaboom the other donk as well. Otherwise, no congratulations in order, you've turned a land as soon as practicable situation into a land immediately situation.
